<h1>The SSF.OS.OSPFv2 Package</h1>
The <tt>SSF.OS.OSPFv2</tt> package is currently under development at the 
<a href="http://www.net.uni-sb.de">Computer Networking Group</a> at Saarland University.
It is still in an early development stage but important features are already implemented. 
<tt>SSF.OS.OSPFv2</tt> supports the hello protocol, database exchange, reliable flooding 
and routing table calculation. At the moment, only router-LSAs are implemented, but the 
other LSA types are planned to follow soon. The only network type available at the moment 
are point-to-point networks. This is sufficient, because most OSPF routers belong to the 
backbone of an AS, where point to point links are the most important link type. Nevertheless, 
the other network types will also be available in the future. In addition, features like 
virtual links and authentication are not yet available. These are not necessary for the 
general functionality of OSPF and will therefore be implemented later.<p>

For further information about the OSPFv2 package, see the documentation shipped with that
package. The current version of the OSPFv2 package is available for download at<p>
